DECEPTION

Bravo Hoder, great set of observations

Thanks Hossain Agha.
You did it again. We iranians are proud of you. Keep it up. Most iranians in iran and outside knwo the true dynamics behind promoting this bunch of traitors in the name of "prize this" and "prize that". It is wonderful that the pieces are put together as you did and presented the whole.

Regards,
H/B/
P.S.
Don't be discouraged from comments from Israeli agents and anti-iranian parasites.

Unofrtunate!

Defaming and insulting and naming individuals in an article is unfortunate to be published here. If you hate someone, write something hateful about them, naming them this and that and Jahanshah will publish it for you! Not nice at all!

hoder good on you, you talk

hoder
good on you, you talk the same way that iranian hater talks, and that is the only way they understand. they are just bunch of harumzadeh which do not need respect or sympaty.

Get lost!

تو كه مدتها در اسرائیل بودی وبا آنها لاس میزدی . چی شد؟ جمهوری اسلامی بیشتر داد و خودت را به آنها فروختی؟ یا اینكه از اول نوكر احمدی نژاد بودی و رل بازی میكردی. هر كه هستی و یا نیستی بی نهایت وقیح ، بی چشم و رو، بی ادب و نفهم هستی. برو كنار بذار باد بیاد

respect

i agree with u about the whole respect thing on one condition, if someone (anyone) can prove to me that this guy here actually thinks this stuff.
i believe from the bottom of my heart (the same way i believe imam hussein was a homo) that this guy just says these things to get attention.
it is impossible for a human to actually think these things and still live in the west. if he thought these things for real he would be amongst the ommate mosalmane homo dar iran.

I am sorry

من از خواندن این مقاله بی نهایت متأسف شدم. اسم هر كسی را كه برده بودید یك یا چند پسوند فحش و القاب ركیك هم حواله كرده بودید. آیا تا به حال توانسته اید دو كلمه مقاله بدون فحش و الفاظ ركیك و چاله میدانی بنویسید؟ از این سایت هم نا امید شدم كه اجازه چنین بی تربیتی ها را میدهد. آزادی بیان با آزادی توهین و بی احترامی زمین تا آسمان فرق دارد

Hey guys

I was wondering if it is possible to respect other people's opinions, I think not offending each other would be a start, what do you guys think?

Or maybe you all think this is like a playground or something, maybe having fun with the politics.

Its interesting that everyone thinks they are right and defend their opinion by offending others,

I think a mature discussion is more efficient and doesnt lead to hatred.

به هدر پوفيوز حرام لقمه

اي عجب كي خر ز تو باور كند
خويشتن بهر تو كور و كر كند

خويش را از رهروان كمتر شمر
تو رفيق رهزناني گه مخور

To Saman

گفتمان لاتی رو تحمل نداری مقاله رو نخون کامنت هم نده. مگه ارث باباتو دست کسی دادی که طلبکاری پفیوز؟

Got balls?

You guys who are attaking hoder are all "not verified!" you got no balls, but you got balls only for attacking him personally!  may be, only may be he has a point! but you know it all, just attack him without trying to analyze the subject matter, or may be you have nothing to analyze it with! let the man speak his mind, as u do!

As for JJ publishing this, you guys want to silence him and you talk about democracy in iran? how pathetic! in democracy, one listens, even he disagrees! well, may be you are all republicans!

موافقم

من با این اقا موافقم. زمانی من با گنجی و سازگارا خیلی حال میکردم ولی حالاشدن بازیچه دست اجنبی. الان وضع طوریه که به هیچکس خارخ از ایران نمیشه اطمینان کرد. همشون کونشون گوهیه. فقط باید روی اونهایی که توی ایران هستند حساب باز کرد. یکی پایینتر از سحابی گفت. قبول دارم مرد شریف و پاکیه و مثل اون کم نیستن ولی دیگه پیر شدن و کاری از دستشون بر نمیاد.
اخوندا هم خیلی زرنگتر از اونی که مردم اینور دنیافکر میکنن هستن. گذاشتن اینها از ایران بیان بیرون و حقوق بگیر اجنبی بشن و از چشم مردم بیفتن. مفت و مجانی اینا رو کردن کبریت بی خطر.

خیلی لاتی

تا کی باید این گفتمان لاتی را تحمل کنیم؟ خیلی لات و بی شعوری . لحنت درست مثل روزنامه کیهان آقای شریعتمداری شده. وقتی امثال شما را می بینم باور میکنم که این مملکت هیچ وقت درست نخواهد شد. یک مشت لات و لجن حرفی برای گفتن دارند و مردم دانشور و فرزانه خودشان را از این لجن زار دور می کنند

What a pathetic bunch

Whole lot of comments, with the exception of one, all are personal attacks and don't even try to critique the article. What a sad bunch you people are and what a sad site this has become. Is this what Iranian-American civilized discourse supposed to be like?
People in Aliabad-e-katul with less than five grades of education have more civility than you.
As for the article. If Ganji and the like don't tow the Washington consensus line outside of Iran, no one will give them the time of day. They will be just another brown skinned loser which offers no value to the "civilized" world. They have no choice really. They can't say anything in Iran without serious consequences and in diaspora, they have to play the game to get visibility. That is why Hamid Dabashi is a relative unknown while Sazgara is a darling.
Can they be classified as VATANFOROOSH? It is really a matter of opinion. They certainly wouldn't think so. I think they are in comparison to say, Zarafshan or Sahabi. But you really want to see a VATANFOROOSH, here is one: Amir Taheri. Now, there is a big one if one ever existed!

The louder the shriek

The louder the shriek, the harder the blow must have been. Why so much hysterical shrieks if the piece is nonsense?

To Yek Irani: Dabashi is a paranoid extremist like Hoder

For Dabashi, everyone, from Azar Nafisi to Akbar Ganji, has a "colonized minset!" Dabashi sees himself as the only person who hasn't sold out to the West. I wonder why he doesn't go back to Iran.
Any ideas out there?

Hoder jan

هودر جان کجا بودی بابا یه مدت ازت خبری نبود؟ رفته بودی ایران؟ خوب بود؟
ناکس رفتی حقوقت رو بگیری بعدش بر گردی خارج واسه یه روند دیگه؟
هودر... ای بلا! ای شیطون! ا

On Akbar Ganji

The following is selected from an article by Dr. Hamid Dabashi. The full article is found at //weekly.ahram.org.eg/2007/866/focus.htm of a link to it at Dr. Dabashi’s website at //www.hamiddabashi.com/ The title of the article is “of banality and burden”. I selected the section related to Mr. Ganji which fits very well with what Mr. Hoder is proposing.

But by far the most atrocious aspect of Bollinger's statement is that because of the slanted relation of power it flaunts it ipso facto shifts the center of gravity of contemporary Iranian political predicament away from Iran and Iranians themselves and places it in the self-righteous domain of a white man and his civilizing mission. It is precisely the same colonial attitude that is perpetrated in the statement written by Akbar Ganji and circulated for signatures among exclusively non-Iranian signatories. Not a single Iranian was allowed, even if he or she insisted, to sign that statement. Akbar Ganji's deeply colonized mind, denying Iranians themselves the right and responsibility to have a say in their national destiny, tallies perfectly well with Bollinger's deeply racist mind to presume that he is telling Iranians something they do not know. Perhaps the most unfortunate aspect of Lee Bollinger's statement is the appearance of the name of Akbar Ganji in it, for in that single reference Lee Bollinger and Akbar Ganji appear as the two-sides of the same colonial coin that denies nations agency and assigns to white men the authority and audacity to civilize the world. Is it even conceivable for Gandhi to launch his movement to liberate India and systematically deny Indians a say in the affairs of their homeland, or for Mandela to write a statement on behalf of civil liberties in South Africa and disallow South Africans to sign it? This is precisely what Akbar Ganji has done, and that is precisely the reason why he is so easily incorporated into Bollinger's racist assumption that he has to bear the heavy burden of liberating Iran and civilizing the world. To avoid that trap, it is long overdue that people like Akbar Ganji look at movements led by Gandhi and Mandela as example of their struggle, rather than come to the United States, go on a Shi'i pilgrimage of collecting white talismans of names he considers worthy of defending the cause of liberty in his homeland.

I lost ineterest in reading

I lost ineterest in reading your article based on your lack of respect for Ebadi and Ganji whom have displayed far more wisdom and courage than you my lonely little bloger with a diminishing readership. Calling them "ablah" is only vindictive of your frustration at their importance and your jealousy of their accomplishments.

حسین آقا، بگو خرج شما را چه کسی می‌دهد؟

حسین آقا،
مواظب باشید چه سوالی از خانم عبادی یا هر کسی میکنید! سوال عمیق و تایین کننده اتان را خودتان اول جواب بدهید لطفآ.

شما 5-4 سال هست که ماهی 2-3 تا کشور را با پروازهای بین المللی پشت سر میگذارید. خرج دانشگاه هم که ظاهرآ میدهید! شغل هم که جز چند تا کار نیمه وقت طراحی وبسایت نداشته اید که به قول خودتان حقوقتان را هم بعضآ خوردند و ندادند!

پس خرج شما را چه کسی می‌دهد؟

و آن کسی که میدهد این پول را از کجا آورده؟

Question to Mr. Jahanshah Javid

Jahanshah jan,

How can this same text be a "Blog" post on Hoder's own site and an "article" on your site?

Why do you turn down articles from other people because they are "better suited as blog entries", but Hoder gets to re-post his casually stated, not-very-well-written-or-edited opinion pieces (which, by the way, are Blog entries on his own site) as articles here?!!

Why?! 

What are we missing? I'm just curious what is at work here?

Captain Hoder Yoder Strikes Again!

Hoder,

If Akbar Ganji or Shirin Ebadi shared just 10% of the prize with you, you would be kissing their behind all over your weblog.

And just recently Kayhan your favorite daily newspaper briefly mentioned you. So pursue your dream my man and become the daily caricature of Kayhan. No one takes your crap too seriously dadash.

There is another bright future waiting for you as a comic strip character called Captain Hoder Yoder. It features a lost cyber space cadet psedu-intellectual forever lost in space trying to land his broken space ship in any planet. So aye aye Captain Hoder Yoder...!

you're the saddest,

you're the saddest, piss-poor excuse for a man I've ever seen, you chromosome-deficient, uber-impotent, rat-faced tard-popsicle. Calling you a pea brain would be an insult to peas, you jellyfish-sucking mental midget. Do you get a clearer idea of how pathetic you are, you minimum wage earning human equivalent of a bidet? . I've come across decomposing animal carcasses that are less offensive to humanity and decency than you are.

Nonesense from Hoder, again...how consistent he is!

Hoder,

So what deal has the IRI made with you to publish this kind of a crap for them as your blog? I have a hard time believing that you can actually be this retarded and that you really believe the garbage you publish. I believe they have worked out a deal in which they will not kill your family if you publish IRI propaganda.

You have no credibility. Give it up please.

To quote your own word...stop being such a "vatanforush".

You are not worthy to write about a brave human rights fighter such as Ebadi. You are just a coward hiding in Canada -- a remote IRI agent scum is all you are.

Please give up your role as IRI's anus and spare us of this crap. Thank you!

Disapointed.

I'm very disapointed with your attitude through your entire post...not very impressed with the content either.

You got some thinking to do...but next time do it before you start writting.

Peace,

To Hajiagha

I've see you begging beside the downtown Chapters in Victoria, but on the Internet? That's a no-no, dude. Pity that you're not even good-looking to be able to sell your body on the street. Is that why you want to sell your soul? I have an extra $20.00 bill. How can I give it to you?

Hoder

Hoder; (what a stpid name) just go back to the hole you came out from and stay there. You are, by far, the sickest poster on this site

where is my money

//hajiagha.tripod.com
why no one prize me and where is my money, haji for sale ?

Your Islamic Republic of Iran is a "Wonderland" indeed

Who are YOUR friends and who pays YOU, Bache Bazaari-ye kesaafat! You little Islamo-fascist should be banned from this website!

madar be khata, khafe khun

madar be khata, khafe khun begir dige, doranet gozasht

It's so pathetic

اگر می‌خواهی ببینی طرفت کیست، ببین دوستانش چه کسانی هستند و بعد هم اینکه خرجش را چه کسی می‌دهد.

?And can you tell us who "your" friends and sponsors are
